Two current hot-button issues will come up during the next Rockville Planning Commission meeting on Wednesday, December 10, at 7:00 PM. Commissioners and staff members Jim Wasilak and Deane Mellender will discuss the Adequate Public Facilities Standards changes proposed by the Mayor and Council. The commission will also take public testimony on a Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) that would prohibit the construction of self-storage facilities on land within 250 feet of a public school.
This comes during a major controversy over an EZ-Storage facility that is proposed to be built near Maryvale Elementary School in Rockville.
Two townhome projects that would add a total of 129 housing units to King Farm will also be reviewed. Those project sites are located at 900 and 901 King Farm Boulevard.
The meeting will be held in the Mayor and Council chambers at City Hall, and also broadcast live on Channel 11.
We need storage in Wynnum West for different reasons, some of us need it to just store extra stuff and some of us need it because we are faced with a complicated issue and we need to move our belongings to some place with a lock.
ReplyDeleteI'd be very interested to find out the rationale behind the prohibition, but I don't think it's a very big issue for the self storage industry though. If for the safety for the kids in school or something because of the vehicles driving in and out then by all means! Safety first!
